Pic never really achieves maximum velocity as a full-throttle action-adventure opus, despite game efforts by returning star Milla Jovovich.. The scariest visage is that of Alice, whose flawless, airbrushed complexion is either a throwback to Mulcahy's New Romantic pop promos or something dictated by Jovovich's L'Oreal contract.. Resident Evil: Extinction is no more interesting than watching someone else play with his Xbox.. It's the first of the agonizing Resident Evil movies that could remotely...

It's all so much more fun when you're the one with the controller, telling the heroes what to do: Watching this stuff unfold onscreen is like sitting by while someone plays your video games without you.. A film as edgy as a rubber knife.. After two solid entries and an OK one, the franchise is getting long in the tooth: This one is Saw It Be-IV.. If ever a movie was made for a quick in-and-out engagement at the multiplex, this is it.. The palette is post-apocalyptic America, with generous squeez...

From what we can tell from the Blade series, vampires are as easy to kill as ducks and there's no limit on them.. Lacks anything vaguely resembling a plot, while failing to deliver suspense or thrills.. Posey continues to find work, and even in a movie as beneath her as this one is, she's always fully engaged. The rest of Blade: Trinity is content to coast.. Trinity is a lighter shade of Blade, delivering brisk action and cutting comedy in equal measure.. I hope this is the end, that it's three ...

In stark contrast to the original's cool, clinical horror, Martin's cack-handed creation of the arse-to-mouth creature is played for cheap, sick slapstick laughs.. A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. There's not much to this movie beyond a slick procession of dark, gleaming violence.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie w...

A masterpiece of genre film-making, really worth to watch.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. I really like this movie. thank you. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Re...

David S Goyer's non-kosher riff on 'The Exorcist' is stillborn,. It takes someone who has actually played the game to explain what a colossally bad idea the Doom movie -- and most films that use video games as source material -- was from the start.. The film teeters so perilously and routinely at the edge of camp, both with some of its casting choices and some unfortunate dialogue...that it's hard to know if Mr. Goyer wants to make us howl with fear or laughter.. [A] dark, violent, nerve-wrackin...

The film's problems aren't limited to liberal cadging from comic books. In fact, that's precisely what's best about the film, which occasionally boasts gorgeous visuals. But the movie doesn't know when to stop stealing.. Neither the Dracula we need nor the one we deserve.. A loopy, ghastly, funny, morbid and unforgettable 100 minutes. This Vlad the Impaler has all the edge of Vlasic the pickle.. It works neither as a sweeping historical epic nor as an action-horror hybrid.. The idea is to humani...

While the new film is much more eye-catching than its blood-drenched Stephen Norrington-directed predecessor, the new script by the returning David S. Goyer is much sillier.. This movie's greatest strengths and weaknesses are in its action scenes.. The borderline-chaotic fight scenes, set to a deafeningly loud rap-rock/heavy metal score, are directed and edited for maximum kinetic impact.. Blade II is almost excessively violent -- OK, it is excessively violent -- but that's exactly what Snipes a...

Some sequels suggest that no one involved with a franchise really cares anymore.. Wit follows coherence out the window.. Endless video-game-style, violent mayhem is on display in this latest edition of the mind-numbing apocalypse series.. Thuddingly awful.. Like an established pizza chain, director Anderson is in thrall to a guarantee: all relationships, of any significance, will be established in three seconds or less.. The Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for never quite arrives, nor does...

It puts human faces on the victims of mass destruction, faces that might easily have been yours or mine, staring down the maw of something we don't understand.. I had a lot of fun with this inside-out take on the monster movie.. Maybe we now live in a world where we record the moment first and feel it later. If that's the case, Cloverfield leaves us waiting to feel.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. The film co...

. The original Saw was crafted with thought and precision. Saw IV is an orgy of blood.. . This death trap may be rusty, but as long as it keeps generating fresh blood, it's unlikely to slam shut anytime soon.. The scariest visage is that of Alice, whose flawless, airbrushed complexion is either a throwback to Mulcahy's New Romantic pop promos or something dictated by Jovovich's L'Oreal contract.. An incomprehensible cacophony of screams, shock cuts, dour pseudo-philosophizing, heavy metal mutila...

The whole thing plays out with the drowsy heaviness of synchronized swimmer wearing a wool wetsuit.. It is a happy alternative to the tepid appeal of pre-teen vamps and werewolves. But why make a vampire movie lacking the allure of the enticing fiends?. Daybreakers is the pinnacle of fun, modern sci-fi horror actioners.. . In a cut-and-paste job more transparent than ectoplasm, Ghost Ship screenwriters Mark Hanlon and John Pogue plunder every notable horror movie from the last 30 years.. Daybrea...

There's little to fear from this rather tame genre outing.. Pitch Black is one of those annoyingly noisy outer-space thrillers where you can't figure out the characters' names at first, and when you finally do, they are either dead or you hate them.. A pretty good buildup to OK payoff without any real surprises en route makes Dark Skies feel just enough above average to make one wish it had one memorable spark of conceptual inspiration up its sleeve.. Really the biggest problem with Dark Skies i...

A feeling of foreboding sets in early in Kiah Roache-Turner's zombie-apocalypse thriller Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the hellish subject matter and everything to do with the direction.. The horror master's first film in nine years is not the comeback we had wished.. . The kills aren't terribly suspenseful or dramatically staged and they quickly grow repetitive. Worst of all, they're not particularly scary.. . A glorious textbook example of a gifted film m...

A gore movie with no teeth.. . I really like this movie. thank you. There are a few cheap thrills, but not enough to make sitting through the senseless plot even remotely worthwhile.. The film is so convoluted and full of garbled loose ends you can feel the different script drafts battling it out for attention on screen.. The film conceals as much as it reveals, and its beauty is that it pretends to do nothing else. It embraces a mystery and protects it, and its thrilling to behold.. Absolutel...

A movie can have a superb story, amazing cinematography, and mesmerizing writing as well as directing, but without the talent to deliver it all, it finds itself lacking. Great!!. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!.

This grosses you out but it also makes you laugh at how crazy it is.. Even on the level of killer-virus-gone-wild gore-fest, The Crazies as rejiggered by Eisner is a dud.. The blood is certainly convincing these days, but it generally flows only in the safest and most inoffensive, uncontroversial directions.. Drag Me to Hell is a sometimes funny and often startling horror movie. That is what it wants to be, and that is what it is.. [A] respectable update.. Apart from the evocative title, which i...

Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. You might find yourself rooting for the murderer.. The excellent performances by the cast are also what raise this movie well above your ordinary action movie.. The best thing about "Unfriended," beyond its funny-nasty title, is that it doesn't play as remotely dull as it sounds even if most of the drama takes place inside shifting, overlapping windows.. As a harangue about cybe...

She blows stuff up real good, in a way that would make the devil - or Bruce Willis - proud.. What's scariest about Carrie in 2013 isn't that this wounded teenage girl has the power to kill -- it's that there are thousands of girls like her with no power at all.. It's neither particularly funny in its desperate rural dumbness, nor is it much of a genre piss-take.. A farce of misunderstanding first, body-count nightmare second and at nearly all times a refreshingly upending horror-comedy bromance....

Every minute of this action packed movie is amazing. This is the single best movie I have ever seen. All of the actors do great jobs at their roles from the villains to the side characters they all give convincing performances.. Absolutely one of the greatest, most cringe-worthy movies I've ever seen.. "It Follows" is the creepiest movie in years.. Music perfectly fits with the movie, the story can't tear myself away from the screen for hours. Really GREAT movie!!. Where most teen horror movies ...
